The Challenge

Microsoft faces resource demand from time to time across its programmes which require additional interim personnel to meet.

The Solution

Provek has provided Microsoft with interim programme managers, project managers, business analysts and project support staff for the past four years.  These key professionals are drawn from Provek’s pool of proven interim contractors.

The Benefits

The benefits to Microsoft are confidence that the interims will be hit the ground running and that they will effectively deliver their customer programmes.  Often Provek’s contracts are extended beyond their initial envisaged period as their value to other programmes within Microsoft become apparent.

A services programme manager recently commented on one of Provek’s interims that “Don worked on a large Microsoft complex project where he was instrumental in enabling development to a live product.   His professionalism, leadership and ability to work under pressure to make things happen will be of great support to the team”.
